'Is there a way to make the terminal in VSCode take up the entire width of the application even if the sidebar is open?

Is there a way to make terminal span the entire width of the application without closing the sidenav? I use it quite a bit, and often I have to hide the sidenav in order to see it in full width. It would be great if I could set it up so the sidenav is just alongside the editor, allowing terminal to take up the full width of the application.

This is in Stable v1.64 now.

Go to View/Appearance/Align Panel/Justify or use the Layout Control icon on the upper right mentioned below.

Other options for the Panel alignment are center/left/right.

Note that that the Layout icon on the upper right was recently added with this setting:

Workbench > Layout Control: Enabled

There is a ticket for this feature in the VSCode repository - https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/42149
